We've arrived in Moscow.

Our trip to Moscow was uneventful, if long. Flying through Seattle, we flew a polar route to Moscow. We were so far North, that the sun never set, even though we took off at 4:00 PM Seattle time, and landed in Moscow at 3:00 PM the following day. Here's a picture out the plan window over Greenland. That's an awful lot of snow for July 5th!

There was a group of 16 High School Juniors and Seniors on our flight with t-shirts that said 'Camp Siberia' on them. It's a group from Seattle which flys to Russia every summer and host a summer camp for orphans. What a small world.


The view out our window is fabulous. We overlook the Kremlin and St. Basil's Cathedral. There was a huge gathering outside the Kremlin for the announcement of the winner of the 2012 Olympic Host City bid. Moscow was a hopeful. Unfortunately for our hosts, the 2012 games were awarded to London.
